Sometimes | Film | Personal

I just like to have small bits of pretty in the house. To gaze upon when there are toys scattered from here to kingdom come, there are  laundry baskets piled high with clothes you don’t remember buying for your kids, and when you’re just really, really tired. Like to day.

Enjoy these flowers. From my home to yours.

Fuji Pro400h. No push or pull in the development. Just regular, good ol’ well exposed film.

Totally forgot I snapped these two at Nicole & Eric’s wedding. Love how it looks timeless already.

Oregon Wildflowers | Personal | Film

Justin and I lived in Oregon for 6 years before we high tailed it back to the Golden State of California. I always remember the wildflowers in Oregon. But never fully appreciated them until we moved to Nor Cal and the flowers get about as wild as poppies and dandelions. Vacationing in Oregon in July usually means most of the flowers are gone and the green grasses have yellowed. Mother Nature must have known I wanted to behold the gloriousness of Oregon again because the delayed Spring meant wildflowers galore in July! Yay for me!

I spent an afternoon walking around my in-laws five acres of property picking everything that had color. I wish we had wild flowers like this in Tracy.

This lovely mini shoot was shot with Fuji Pro400h 35mm film. Love the soft colors and the tones of all the colors. There’s something about it that just makes me smile.

P.S. This was featured over on the Engaged & Inspired blog earlier this week! I was all giddy as it was my first ‘feature’ of sorts. Eeeek!

Missing the rain | Personal | Film

This passed weekend it got up to the high 90s. I know, I know. I shouldn’t even complain about the heat we get here in Northern California, but seriously, the sun was so hot it made me scrunch my face up. It was ugly. We had the windows closed, blinds wound tightly and I even put a few large gallery wraps in the windows that were still flooded with light. Again. Makes me miss those days of rain, and blue-grey days when I complained about the miserable wet weather. Ha. Never happy, right?

Rain, rain, come again….

Chris & Sarah | I do | Redlands Weddings

I had the great pleasure of capturing these moments for Chris and Sarah at their gorgeous wedding in Redlands, CA.

I have known Chris since he was like 5, and I was like 6. And he is my brother’s best and oldest friend. Kristin Vaughn was the main shooter and I was super grateful that she allowed me to tag along! The wedding ceremony and reception took place at the Mitten Building in downtown Redlands (I highly recommend this place). The couple took their first look at Oak Glen above Cherry Valley. Sarah’s dress was by Jessica McClintock and it fit her perfectly!

I am still booking for August! Give me a shout if you haven’t found your wedding photographer, yet!
